摘要
Hypoxia and increased levels of inflammatory cytokines in the joints are characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the effects of hypoxia and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 production on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) remain to be clarified. This study aimed to explore how hypoxia and TNF-α affect the expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in human FLSs isolated from RA patients. Hypoxia or TNF-α treatment alone significantly increased the expression and promoter activity of IL-6, IL-8, and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Treatment of hypoxic FLSs with TNF-α further significantly elevated the expression of these cytokines and enhanced promoter activity of HIF-1α, which was abrogated by treatment with the HIF-1α inhibitor YC-1. Similarly, TNF-α alone elevated the phosphorylation and promoter activity of nuclear factor-κBp65 (NF-κBp65) in the FLSs. These effects were further enhanced by the combined treatment of hypoxia and TNFα but were attenuated by the NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7082. NF-κB-p65 inhibition decreased the effect of TNF-α on HIF-1α upregulation in the FLSs in response to hypoxia. The combination of hypoxia and TNF-α also significantly upregulated transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) expression, and silencing TAK1 dramatically decreased NF-κB-p65, HIF-1α, IL-6, and IL-8 expression under the same conditions. Our results indicate that hypoxia and TNF-α synergistically increase IL-6 and IL-8 expression in human FLSs via enhancing TAK1/NF-κB/HIF-1α signaling.
